Not technically Music, but we saw Henry Rollins perform last night at the Palace of Fine Arts and my friends. He's so good. He's amazing - although at one point I was thinking I had to put my earplugs in because the man is Very Very Good at Yelling.
Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Mimi Parker has died. Way too young. [link]

I am so stunned and saddened by Sinead O'Connor's death. She was brilliant & forthright and had such a lovely voice.
Yeah, it’s a hard one, Sumi. For sure.
I'm going to see The Warning [link] in Chicago later this month. I've already purchased a pair of earplugs designed for concerts. Anything else a middle-aged person venturing back into live music after over two decades should be aware of?
ST:SNW did a musical episode.
The songs all seemed very polished to me, but none of them grabbed me the way "Rest In Peace" and "Walk Through the Fire" and "Something To Sing About" from Once More With Feeling did. Or even "Break Away" and "Turning My Life Around" from Anna and the Apocalypse.
